“Because Tuscany is far!”

We, the farms and businesses of the Floating Bridge Food and Farms Coop, invite you to enjoy Vermont’s working landscape and welcome you into our kitchens, barnyards and lives. Visitors seeking connection and meaningful experiences and hungry for the nourishment of farm fresh food will find a range of activities appropriate for families, groups and individuals.

Coming from near or far, people cherish:

the beautiful countryside, relaxing sounds and unassuming scale of our farms, and businesses,

our products, and learning how they are made, directly from the farmer, chef or craftsperson,

the chance to participate, learn new skills, and experience Vermont’s heritage, and

the intimacy of it all, from our hands-on classes, farm-fresh dinners and stays on working farms, to our markets and events in Vermont’s quintessential “pond village”.

Whether you are planning for your peaceful retreat, romantic get-away, milestone celebration or family adventure, we are accessible enough for a day-trip or weekend and worthy of a week-long vacation.

Come to picturesque Central Vermont and experience life on a farm—meet the farm families that raise healthy nutritious foods, learn about sustainable farming practices, and enjoy locally raised food, fresh from the farm!

What fun to welcome Third Branch Flower Farm as a new member to the Floating Bridge Food and Farms Cooperative! Located at the very top of Roxbury, VT, the first thing you notice upon arrival is the jaw-dropping view - 360º of jaw-dropping view. I'm sure the Pincus family are used to that oohing and awing from everyone that visits. And it doesn't stop there...

Every spring Lee and I eagerly anticipate the time when the bounty of our farms allows Lee to present a menu which is sourced from our friends and neighbors. Well that time is now. This Sunday (June 8th) we begin our Sunday Farm Supper Series with duck eggs from Amy Borgman, arugula and pork from Green Mountain Girls, baby romaine and spinach from Clotilde Hrishko and yes, morels I've foraged. It's a great 3 course menu (menu here) for all of 29 bucks and you can pair it with some really wonderful beer from Lawson's Finest and local wine from John at North Branch Winery. The new releases of Frontenac and Frontenac Gris are spectacular. It's supposed to be beautiful weather this Sunday, some come on out.

Now THIS is how I like to start my Monday! With a phone call from FedEx telling me we just won their $25,000 Small Business Grant Contest. ….long pause… “Wait, are you serious? You wouldn’t joke around with me, right, because we worked so hard on our application, it would be really uncool if you were pulling my leg right now.”

From lattes on hoof and farm fresh dinners to cider pressing, harvest markets, and world class music the Floating Bridge Food and Farms Cooperative’s Fall Foliage Trail provides visitors opportunities to frame the season’s glory in the intimacy of family farms in and around Vermont’s bucolic “pond village”, Brookfield, where unique opportunities abound to enjoy the splendor and awe of seasonal change from the ground up.

This week our DIY holiday party gathered most of the team who helped grow this season’s food for a mini farm experience like the ones we sell and also offer with our Floating Bridge Food and Farm Cooperative colleagues, making merry and making edible gifts for our loved ones. American Express values such events as “priceless”. True. But they are more. Their memories are assets much like gems. And the associated engagement generates greater connection – an asset equivalent to renewable energy.

This weekend we hope many of you can join us for more at LH Stowell & Sons Christmas Tree Farm and our Holiday Shop.
